Short Snappers: Crazy Funny Letters To Landlords

As wih the other humor items in this section, these are purported to be real things tenants have written to their landlords. Since there are slightly different versions floating around, I suspect they aren't really genuine but that doesn't take away from their humor.

As with other humor short snappers here, these can be used as a fun break during seminars, unveiled via slideshow during breaks, or used as a basis for discussing why these examples are so funny, and why the communication failed.
